Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - Heaven’s Answer to Sickness, Old Age and Death | December 23, 2025

...
00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:01.310
Joseph prince: whether you believe in god or not,
00:00:12.988 --> 00:00:14.490
You know that inside you,
00:00:14.623 --> 00:00:15.057
You know that even sickness and disease,
00:00:16.658 --> 00:00:18.660
It's not something that is something
00:00:18.660 --> 00:00:20.729
That we can settle with.
00:00:20.729 --> 00:00:23.065
Deep down on the inside, we know that this is not meant to be.
00:00:23.065 --> 00:00:25.934
And you are right, amen? you are not created for disease.
00:00:25.934 --> 00:00:29.004
You were not created to grow old.
00:00:29.004 --> 00:00:30.339
You are not created to die.
00:00:30.339 --> 00:00:31.840
You were created to live forever.
00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:34.109
But man sinned against god, and because of that, adam fell.
00:00:34.109 --> 00:00:37.513
When adam fell, amen, the whole earth,
00:00:37.513 --> 00:00:40.983
The bible says, all creation fell with adam.
00:00:40.983 --> 00:00:43.952
The bible says the whole earth is fallen
00:00:43.952 --> 00:00:46.622
And creation is fallen.
00:00:46.622 --> 00:00:48.891
And what is creation waiting for now?
00:00:48.891 --> 00:00:50.526
It is crying out
00:00:50.526 --> 00:00:51.860
For the manifestation of the sons of god.
00:00:51.860 --> 00:00:54.062
The solution to man's fall is in the king of the jews,
00:00:54.062 --> 00:00:58.767
Our lord jesus christ, hallelujah.
00:00:58.767 --> 00:01:01.503
Male announcer: blessed christmas from our ministry
00:01:01.570 --> 00:01:03.305
To your family.
00:01:03.305 --> 00:01:04.640
This week, let's slow down and enjoy the peace
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.476
Jesus came to bring.
00:01:07.476 --> 00:01:09.044
In today's message, joseph shows us the real reason
00:01:09.044 --> 00:01:12.147
For the season and how god gave us the greatest gift of all:
00:01:12.147 --> 00:01:15.384
His son.
00:01:15.384 --> 00:01:16.718
This week let's slow down and enjoy the peace
00:01:16.718 --> 00:01:19.454
Jesus came to bring.
00:01:19.454 --> 00:01:21.190
Inspire your every day and your every tomorrow

00:01:37.339 --> 00:01:39.708
With today's program.
00:01:39.708 --> 00:01:41.109
Joseph prince: merry christmas, everybody.
00:01:41.176 --> 00:01:44.313
Seven hundred years ago before christ was born,
00:01:44.313 --> 00:01:47.649
Prophet isaiah prophesied:
00:01:47.649 --> 00:01:50.852
"for unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
00:01:50.852 --> 00:01:58.026
And the government shall be upon his shoulder:
00:01:58.026 --> 00:02:01.196
And his name shall be called wonderful, counselor,
00:02:01.196 --> 00:02:06.235
The mighty god, the everlasting father,
00:02:06.235 --> 00:02:10.138
And the prince of peace."
00:02:10.138 --> 00:02:12.541
It was prophesied long before christ was born.
00:02:12.541 --> 00:02:15.877
And the same prophet prophesied: "the lord will give you a sign:
00:02:15.877 --> 00:02:20.415
A virgin shall be with child." and this is the christmas story.
00:02:20.415 --> 00:02:25.787
Unto us, a child is born. unto us, a son is given.
00:02:25.787 --> 00:02:31.159
The child cannot be given and the son cannot be born.
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:37.032
As a child, as a man, he was born.
00:02:37.032 --> 00:02:40.469
Just like the rest of us, he became a man.
00:02:40.469 --> 00:02:43.105
But as a son, he always preexisted with the father.
00:02:43.105 --> 00:02:47.209
So as a son, he was given by the father, amen,
00:02:47.209 --> 00:02:50.245
To the virgin's womb.
00:02:50.245 --> 00:02:51.913
And he was born as a child.
00:02:51.913 --> 00:02:54.249
So for jesus to redeem us, he had to become one of us, amen?
00:02:54.249 --> 00:03:00.689
Another thing for a redeemer is that a redeemer must be wealthy.
00:03:00.689 --> 00:03:04.559
The poor cannot redeem the poor.
00:03:04.559 --> 00:03:06.862
So the lord jesus, he is wealthy.
00:03:06.862 --> 00:03:09.398
He came full of grace and truth with the power to save, amen,
00:03:09.398 --> 00:03:14.369
The anointing to heal.
00:03:14.369 --> 00:03:16.338
How he said it was like this.
00:03:16.338 --> 00:03:17.973
He said, "the spirit of the lord is upon me,
00:03:17.973 --> 00:03:20.142
To preach good news to the poor;
00:03:20.142 --> 00:03:22.778
To heal the brokenhearted,
00:03:22.778 --> 00:03:24.513
To proclaim liberty to the captives."
00:03:24.513 --> 00:03:27.449
So as a child, he was born. as a son, he was given.
00:03:27.449 --> 00:03:32.321
And most important quality for a redeemer,
00:03:32.321 --> 00:03:35.257
You can have a relative who is wealthy,
00:03:35.257 --> 00:03:38.360
But he is not willing to redeem you.
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:40.862
But the lord, how willing is he?
00:03:40.862 --> 00:03:43.165
He stretched forth his hands on the cross, shed his blood,
00:03:43.165 --> 00:03:46.935
And redeemed all of us.
00:03:46.935 --> 00:03:49.004
"for god so loved the world--"
00:03:49.004 --> 00:03:50.339
Jesus said to a pharisee one time
00:03:50.339 --> 00:03:53.208
By the name of nicodemus.
00:03:53.208 --> 00:03:54.743
Jesus says, "for god so loved the world,
00:03:54.743 --> 00:03:57.312
That he gave his only begotten son,
00:03:57.312 --> 00:04:00.449
That whosoever believes in him should not perish,
00:04:00.449 --> 00:04:05.120
But have everlasting life."

Joseph prince: amen, amen, amen.
00:07:07.002 --> 00:07:11.806
I want to share with you on a little-known story
00:07:11.806 --> 00:07:16.645
In the old testament.
00:07:16.645 --> 00:07:18.680
And the reason why god put that story in the old testament
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:21.616
And how it's tied up with our christmas story.
00:07:21.616 --> 00:07:24.119
I believe it is going to bless you.
00:07:24.119 --> 00:07:25.820
It's going to minister to you.
00:07:25.820 --> 00:07:27.689
It's going to help you see the christmas story
00:07:27.689 --> 00:07:31.993
In its entirety.
00:07:31.993 --> 00:07:34.362
Because many a times, people have questions about
00:07:34.362 --> 00:07:36.932
The virgin birth.
00:07:36.932 --> 00:07:38.266
They have questions about, you know,
00:07:38.266 --> 00:07:39.968
Why jesus had to come in the flesh.
00:07:39.968 --> 00:07:42.704
Well, friends, it's all about redemption.
00:07:42.704 --> 00:07:44.873
The rightful ruler that god ordained
00:07:44.873 --> 00:07:47.509
To rule over this earth.
00:07:47.509 --> 00:07:49.044
When god made adam, god says, "have dominion over the earth,
00:07:49.044 --> 00:07:53.381
Over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
00:07:53.381 --> 00:07:56.518
Man was god's rightful ruler
00:07:56.518 --> 00:08:00.889
Over this domain called earth, amen.
00:08:00.889 --> 00:08:04.960
In this part of the universe, god made man to rule, amen,
00:08:04.960 --> 00:08:10.231
To have dominion.
00:08:10.231 --> 00:08:11.700
But man committed high treason.
00:08:11.700 --> 00:08:14.569
Man sinned, bowed his knees to an outlawed spirit, satan.
00:08:14.569 --> 00:08:19.941
And as a result, when man sinned against god, death came in.
00:08:19.941 --> 00:08:23.712
It was never part of god's plan for man to die.
00:08:23.712 --> 00:08:26.881
It is not in his heart for man to grow old, become decrepit,
00:08:26.881 --> 00:08:31.419
His body wracked with disease, in pain, and finally die.
00:08:31.419 --> 00:08:36.691
That's not the father's dream.
00:08:36.691 --> 00:08:38.293
The father god has a dream of a family,
00:08:38.293 --> 00:08:41.696
Amen, full of goodness, full of grace and truth,
00:08:41.696 --> 00:08:46.501
Living in wholeness, amen?
00:08:46.501 --> 00:08:48.670
And living forever and ever.
00:08:48.670 --> 00:08:51.272
Forever young, forever strong, forever healthy, amen?
00:08:51.272 --> 00:08:54.943
Full of love, joy, and peace.
00:08:54.943 --> 00:08:57.679
And that's how the father ordained it.
00:08:57.679 --> 00:08:59.147
That's why, you know, when we attend a funeral and all that,
00:08:59.147 --> 00:09:02.450
We know that it's a time to be sorrowful.
00:09:02.450 --> 00:09:05.153
It's a time for us--we know that something inside us tell us
00:09:05.153 --> 00:09:09.424
This is not meant to be.
00:09:09.424 --> 00:09:10.759
Man was not--we all have that.
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:12.394
Whether you believe in god or not,
00:09:12.394 --> 00:09:14.095
You know that inside you,
00:09:14.095 --> 00:09:16.364
You know that even sickness and disease,
00:09:16.364 --> 00:09:18.400
It's not something that is something
00:09:18.400 --> 00:09:20.568
That we can settle with, amen?
00:09:20.568 --> 00:09:23.238
Deep down on the inside, we know that this is not meant to be.
00:09:23.238 --> 00:09:26.374
And you are right, amen? you are not created for disease.
00:09:26.374 --> 00:09:29.310
You were not created to grow old.
00:09:29.310 --> 00:09:30.745
You are not created to die.
00:09:30.745 --> 00:09:32.147
You were created to live forever.
00:09:32.147 --> 00:09:34.382
But man sinned against god, and because of that, adam fell.
00:09:34.382 --> 00:09:37.719
When adam fell, amen, the whole earth,
00:09:37.719 --> 00:09:41.189
The bible says, all creation fell with adam, amen.
00:09:41.189 --> 00:09:44.626
All the animals in the beginning,
00:09:44.626 --> 00:09:46.795
They could speak, amen.
00:09:46.795 --> 00:09:48.229
The bible says, when they fell, they could no longer speak.
00:09:48.229 --> 00:09:51.332
And that's why we have all the different animals
00:09:51.332 --> 00:09:53.034
And all the language of groaning, the bible calls it.
00:09:53.034 --> 00:09:56.538
The whole earth, we talk about global warming.
00:09:56.538 --> 00:09:59.874
But actually the bible says the whole earth is fallen
00:09:59.874 --> 00:10:02.877
And creation is fallen.
00:10:02.877 --> 00:10:05.113
And what is creation waiting for now?
00:10:05.113 --> 00:10:07.048
While it is travailing in pain
00:10:07.048 --> 00:10:08.983
Like a woman about to give birth,
00:10:08.983 --> 00:10:10.919
It is crying out
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:12.353
For the manifestation of the sons of god.
00:10:12.353 --> 00:10:15.457
You know, friend, when adam fell,
00:10:15.457 --> 00:10:19.360
God asked the question, "where are you, adam?"
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.731
You know, god knew where adam was,
00:10:22.731 --> 00:10:24.432
But god wanted adam to know where he was, amen?
00:10:24.432 --> 00:10:27.702
The very first question of the old testament
00:10:27.702 --> 00:10:29.571
In the bible is "where are you, man?"
00:10:29.571 --> 00:10:31.906
Adam means man. where are you, man?
00:10:31.906 --> 00:10:35.744
And the first question of the new testament is
00:10:35.744 --> 00:10:40.181
"where is he born, the king of the jews?" amen.
00:10:40.181 --> 00:10:44.018
Because the solution to man's fall
00:10:44.018 --> 00:10:47.055
Is in the king of the jews,
00:10:47.055 --> 00:10:48.990
Our lord jesus christ, hallelujah.
00:10:48.990 --> 00:10:51.559
When man fell, god spoke to the snake
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:54.295
Who was possessed by satan.
00:10:54.295 --> 00:10:55.697
God spoke to satan.
00:10:55.697 --> 00:10:57.031
In other words, the very first prophecy of the bible
00:10:57.031 --> 00:10:59.134
In genesis 3:15.
00:10:59.134 --> 00:11:00.835
This is what god said.
00:11:00.835 --> 00:11:02.170
God said, "and i'll put enmity between you and the woman."
00:11:02.170 --> 00:11:05.974
Notice not you and the man,
00:11:05.974 --> 00:11:07.308
Even though it was the man that fell.
00:11:07.308 --> 00:11:09.077
And of course when man fell, the woman fell as well, amen?
00:11:09.077 --> 00:11:12.413
And it was man--man who had the final authority
00:11:12.413 --> 00:11:18.119
That god put--invested him with.
00:11:18.119 --> 00:11:20.722
When he fell, all creation fell.
00:11:20.722 --> 00:11:23.158
Now for man to come back to that place
00:11:23.158 --> 00:11:26.594
Where god has for him, he has to have blood shed.
00:11:26.594 --> 00:11:30.231
Because without the shedding of blood,
00:11:30.231 --> 00:11:31.566
There is no forgiveness of sins.
00:11:31.566 --> 00:11:33.434
The bible says it this way in leviticus 17, verse 11.
00:11:33.434 --> 00:11:36.905
It says: "for the life of the flesh is in the blood."
00:11:36.905 --> 00:11:39.941
Say it.
00:11:39.941 --> 00:11:41.276
"the life of the flesh is in the blood."
00:11:41.276 --> 00:11:43.144
Notice the life of the flesh is in the blood.
00:11:43.144 --> 00:11:45.914
And why did god give blood?
00:11:45.914 --> 00:11:47.482
God says, "i've given it to you, the blood, upon the altar
00:11:47.482 --> 00:11:50.351
To make atonement for your souls;
00:11:50.351 --> 00:11:51.886
For it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul."
00:11:51.886 --> 00:11:55.390
Now we go back to what god said to the devil.
00:11:55.390 --> 00:11:58.493
The first prophecy of the bible, god said, "i'll put enmity
00:11:58.493 --> 00:12:01.830
Between you and the woman,
00:12:01.830 --> 00:12:03.498
And between your seed and her seed."
00:12:03.498 --> 00:12:06.000
So, straight away, when you see the word "her seed,"
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:08.903
Singular, you know it's referring to jesus.
00:12:08.903 --> 00:12:11.539
And god is saying that, "yes, you've caused man to fall.
00:12:11.539 --> 00:12:14.909
Yes, all creation has fallen,
00:12:14.909 --> 00:12:17.478
But i'm sending the woman's seed.
00:12:17.478 --> 00:12:20.148
And he will bruise your head,
00:12:20.148 --> 00:12:22.684
And you shall bruise his heel," amen?
00:12:22.684 --> 00:12:25.420
In other words, the word "bruise" there in hebrew
00:12:25.420 --> 00:12:27.155
Is the word "crush."
00:12:27.155 --> 00:12:28.489
"she will crush your head, and you will crush his heel."
00:12:28.489 --> 00:12:30.658
And that happened at the cross.
00:12:30.658 --> 00:12:32.126
Jesus was wounded, of course, at the cross.
00:12:32.126 --> 00:12:34.596
But he crushed satan's head at the cross, hallelujah.
00:12:34.596 --> 00:12:38.099
And notice the word there? it is not the man's seed.
00:12:38.099 --> 00:12:40.435
It is "i'll put enmity between your seed," the devil's seed,
00:12:40.435 --> 00:12:44.739
"and the woman's seed."
00:12:44.739 --> 00:12:46.908
Now, the woman has no seed.
00:12:46.908 --> 00:12:49.043
So this is a prophecy of the virgin birth--amen?--
00:12:49.043 --> 00:12:52.714
That christ would come through a virgin, amen.
00:12:52.714 --> 00:12:56.618
And then many years after that,
00:12:56.618 --> 00:12:59.354
700 years before christ was born,
00:12:59.354 --> 00:13:02.056
Prophet isaiah said this. i alluded to this just now.
00:13:02.056 --> 00:13:05.426
In isaiah 7, he says, "therefore the lord himself will give you
00:13:05.426 --> 00:13:08.930
A sign: behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
00:13:08.930 --> 00:13:13.768
And shall call his name immanuel."
00:13:13.768 --> 00:13:17.338
"the virgin shall conceive and bear a son."
00:13:17.338 --> 00:13:19.240
It's a sign.
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:20.575
Now, there are people who argue that the hebrew word "ha-almah,"
00:13:20.575 --> 00:13:25.079
The virgin, can also be translated
00:13:25.079 --> 00:13:27.515
The young maid, which means she's not a virgin.
00:13:27.515 --> 00:13:30.652
"why is this an allusion to mary?" they say.
00:13:30.652 --> 00:13:32.987
Okay, but friend, if it's just a young maid,
00:13:32.987 --> 00:13:35.556
It's no more a sign.
00:13:35.556 --> 00:13:37.425
Is it a sign for a young maid to have a baby?
00:13:37.425 --> 00:13:41.029
All young maids can--
00:13:41.029 --> 00:13:42.363
Potentially, they are able to have babies, right?
00:13:42.363 --> 00:13:45.033
No, no, it's a sign.
00:13:45.033 --> 00:13:46.367
The word there is a virgin, amen.
00:13:46.367 --> 00:13:48.236
Ha-almah, the virgin, specific virgin--
00:13:48.236 --> 00:13:51.706
Prophesied 700 years before christ was born, amen?--
00:13:51.706 --> 00:13:54.442
"shall conceive and bear a son,
00:13:54.442 --> 00:13:56.544
And shall call his name immanuel."
00:13:56.544 --> 00:13:58.446
In hebrew here means "god with us," hallelujah, amen.
00:13:58.446 --> 00:14:03.584
And this is again confirmed before christ was born.
00:14:03.584 --> 00:14:06.554
Joseph, who was the husband-to-be to mary--
00:14:06.554 --> 00:14:10.591
They were both betrothed, and before they came together,
00:14:10.591 --> 00:14:14.028
The bible says, he found out that she was with child.
00:14:14.028 --> 00:14:16.397
Imagine, amen, your girlfriend coming to you
00:14:16.397 --> 00:14:19.200
And saying that she's pregnant.
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:20.535
Of course, it doesn't work today, amen?
00:14:20.535 --> 00:14:21.869
It will not work today, amen. don't believe that, okay?
00:14:21.869 --> 00:14:24.605
But this once in history, amen.
00:14:24.605 --> 00:14:26.607
And she came and told joseph that she's with child.
00:14:26.607 --> 00:14:29.811
And joseph really thought that she, you know,
00:14:29.811 --> 00:14:32.981
She has committed fornication,
00:14:32.981 --> 00:14:34.315
And he wanted to put her away privately
00:14:34.315 --> 00:14:36.384
Because the bible--you know, back in those days,
00:14:36.384 --> 00:14:39.954
They'll be stoned if they did that.
00:14:39.954 --> 00:14:42.123
So he loved her enough to want to put her away privately.
00:14:42.123 --> 00:14:46.027
But this is what happened.
00:14:46.027 --> 00:14:47.362
The bible says: "while he thought about these things,
00:14:47.362 --> 00:14:49.230
Behold, an angel of the lord appeared to him in a dream,
00:14:49.230 --> 00:14:51.366
Saying, 'joseph, son of david,
00:14:51.366 --> 00:14:54.535
Do not be afraid to take to you mary your wife,
00:14:54.535 --> 00:14:57.772
For that which is conceived in her is of the holy spirit.
00:14:57.772 --> 00:15:02.744
And she will bring forth a son,
00:15:02.744 --> 00:15:04.879
And you shall call his name jesus,
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:07.382
For he will save his people from their sins.'
00:15:07.382 --> 00:15:11.285
So all this was done that it might be fulfilled
00:15:11.285 --> 00:15:14.389
Which was spoken by the lord through the prophet, saying:
00:15:14.389 --> 00:15:17.925
'behold, the virgin shall be with child,'"
00:15:17.925 --> 00:15:20.528
There you go, isaiah's prophecy,
00:15:20.528 --> 00:15:22.430
"'and bear a son, and they shall call his name immanuel,'
00:15:22.430 --> 00:15:25.867
Which is translated, 'god with us.'"
00:15:25.867 --> 00:15:29.937
God with us.
00:15:29.937 --> 00:15:31.272
Now, why the necessity for the virgin birth?
00:15:31.272 --> 00:15:35.143
A virgin means there's no father here.
00:15:35.143 --> 00:15:37.645
So jesus was formed in the womb and his heavenly father, amen,
00:15:37.645 --> 00:15:42.817
Sent him, amen, not create him, sent him into the virgin's womb.
00:15:42.817 --> 00:15:48.723
He took off all his glory.
00:15:48.723 --> 00:15:50.658
You know, which king will step down, right,
00:15:50.658 --> 00:15:54.862
Like the song says, "and become a man"?
00:15:54.862 --> 00:15:58.466
That is really a humiliation.
00:15:58.466 --> 00:16:01.235
That is a condescension, amen, for him to become a man,
00:16:01.235 --> 00:16:04.605
Subject to time and space like the rest of us.
00:16:04.605 --> 00:16:10.845
And yet he is divine,
00:16:10.845 --> 00:16:12.713
Because that, he cannot deny, amen?
00:16:12.713 --> 00:16:14.615
He always is, amen.
00:16:14.615 --> 00:16:16.684
But here you have jesus in the virgin's womb.
00:16:16.684 --> 00:16:22.857
And now we know scientifically that the placenta does not give
00:16:22.857 --> 00:16:27.862
Blood to the baby.
00:16:27.862 --> 00:16:29.397
At one time, we thought that the baby received
00:16:29.397 --> 00:16:31.732
The mother's blood.
00:16:31.732 --> 00:16:33.067
But don't forget that mary has sin in her blood.
00:16:33.067 --> 00:16:36.237
All men have sinned.
00:16:36.237 --> 00:16:37.572
The bible says: "all have sinned and come short
00:16:37.572 --> 00:16:40.408
Of the glory of god."
00:16:40.408 --> 00:16:41.776
So where do you find the sin?
00:16:41.776 --> 00:16:43.544
How is it transferred to the child?
00:16:43.544 --> 00:16:45.046
Through the blood, amen?
00:16:45.046 --> 00:16:46.614
So the father and mother contribute to the blood
00:16:46.614 --> 00:16:48.649
Of the child, right?
00:16:48.649 --> 00:16:49.984
And if mary, even though she's a virgin--right?--
00:16:49.984 --> 00:16:53.621
She does not know a man.
00:16:53.621 --> 00:16:54.956
But men have thought in times past
00:16:54.956 --> 00:16:56.991
That she would still pass her sinful blood to jesus.
00:16:56.991 --> 00:17:01.762
But that's not true because now we know
00:17:01.762 --> 00:17:03.397
That the placenta only brings food, nourishment,
00:17:03.397 --> 00:17:07.368
Amen, oxygen to the baby, to the child.
00:17:07.368 --> 00:17:12.473
And the baby's excrement and all the waste matters
00:17:12.473 --> 00:17:16.944
Are transferred out of the baby, amen.
00:17:16.944 --> 00:17:19.747
Of course, there are a few other things
00:17:19.747 --> 00:17:21.082
Like gas exchange and all that, but not the blood.
00:17:21.082 --> 00:17:23.117
The baby, through the placenta, is protected
00:17:23.117 --> 00:17:26.587
From the mother's blood, amen,
00:17:26.587 --> 00:17:29.624
So that the baby will not suffer any infection.
00:17:29.624 --> 00:17:32.960
God ordained it to be so, but i believe that god
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:34.996
Planned it to be so for his son to be born
00:17:34.996 --> 00:17:37.832
Without sin in his blood.
00:17:37.832 --> 00:17:39.667
He has blood, but it is sinless blood.
00:17:39.667 --> 00:17:43.004
It is royal blood. it is holy blood.
00:17:43.004 --> 00:17:46.374
It is divine blood.
00:17:46.374 --> 00:17:48.342
In fact, that term is used in acts 20,
00:17:48.342 --> 00:17:51.212
Where apostle paul says that take heed
00:17:51.212 --> 00:17:54.715
To the church of god, amen.
00:17:54.715 --> 00:17:56.417
Take care of the church of god.
00:17:56.417 --> 00:17:57.985
Feed the flock of god, amen, whom god has redeemed
00:17:57.985 --> 00:18:02.123
With his blood.
00:18:02.123 --> 00:18:03.457
So it's divine blood.
00:18:03.457 --> 00:18:05.059
There's no sin in that blood.
00:18:05.059 --> 00:18:06.494
And don't forget: that blood, when shed, will cleanse us
00:18:06.494 --> 00:18:10.531
From all our sins and reverse the curse,
00:18:10.531 --> 00:18:13.534
Amen, that has fallen on this earth
00:18:13.534 --> 00:18:16.037
Because of man's sin.
00:18:16.037 --> 00:18:17.405
If we can reverse sin, we can reverse the fall,
00:18:17.405 --> 00:18:19.574
Hallelujah, amen.
00:18:19.574 --> 00:18:21.075
Thank you, lord jesus.
00:18:21.075 --> 00:18:22.577
And as far as we are concerned,
00:18:22.577 --> 00:18:23.978
Everyone that accepts jesus christ receives
00:18:23.978 --> 00:18:26.147
That life more abundant that jesus promised.
00:18:26.147 --> 00:18:29.917
And that's why the importance of the virgin birth.
00:18:29.917 --> 00:18:32.954
It's all to preserve the blood of jesus
00:18:32.954 --> 00:18:34.989
Because god sent him to die for our sins, friends, amen?
00:18:34.989 --> 00:18:39.660
And the bible tells us in romans 5--
00:18:39.660 --> 00:18:41.996
Here it tells us very clearly: "god shows his love for us
00:18:41.996 --> 00:18:45.666
In that while we were still sinners, christ died for us."
00:18:45.666 --> 00:18:49.704
"while we were still sinners, christ died for us."
00:18:49.704 --> 00:18:53.541
I love this.
00:18:53.541 --> 00:18:54.875
"since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood."
00:18:54.875 --> 00:18:58.512
Justified? what is justified?
00:18:58.512 --> 00:19:00.948
That means you are made righteous in god's eyes.
00:19:00.948 --> 00:19:04.685
Justified is a term used in the courts.
00:19:04.685 --> 00:19:08.556
You are acquitted, amen?
00:19:08.556 --> 00:19:10.524
But in god's eyes, it's more than that.
00:19:10.524 --> 00:19:12.226
You are made righteous in god's eyes.
00:19:12.226 --> 00:19:14.795
And how are we made righteous?
00:19:14.795 --> 00:19:16.264
By jesus's blood, hallelujah. by jesus's blood.
00:19:16.264 --> 00:19:21.636
And that's why that blood is so important.
00:19:21.636 --> 00:19:24.338
And that's why he has to be born of a virgin,
00:19:24.338 --> 00:19:25.806
Because mary cannot give her blood.
00:19:25.806 --> 00:19:27.541
And we know the placenta does not carry mary's blood to jesus.
00:19:27.541 --> 00:19:30.845
And that's why we have this beautiful christmas story.
00:19:30.845 --> 00:19:35.149
It's all to bring the redeemer in.
00:19:35.149 --> 00:19:36.917
And the devil tried to kill jesus, amen, through king herod.
00:19:36.917 --> 00:19:41.489
You know, he slaughtered the babies of bethlehem,
00:19:41.489 --> 00:19:44.892
But god preserved the christ child, amen?
00:19:44.892 --> 00:19:49.430
And god brought him back and god brought him
00:19:49.430 --> 00:19:53.200
To a place called nazareth.
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:54.902
Again, the prophet spoke of nazareth--
00:19:54.902 --> 00:19:56.904
That he, the redeemer, will be a nazarene, hallelujah.
00:19:56.904 --> 00:20:00.675
We are made righteous by his blood.
00:20:00.675 --> 00:20:03.377
Friend, when god looks at you and you believe in
00:20:03.377 --> 00:20:05.179
The blood of jesus,
00:20:05.179 --> 00:20:06.514
God sees you righteous in his eyes.
00:20:06.514 --> 00:20:08.949
And all the blessings of the righteous
00:20:08.949 --> 00:20:10.451
Will accrue to you.
00:20:10.451 --> 00:20:11.786
For example, the bible says, in the path of the righteous,
00:20:11.786 --> 00:20:16.824
"in the way of righteousness, there is no death."
00:20:16.824 --> 00:20:19.660
Amen, believe it. receive that, amen.
00:20:19.660 --> 00:20:22.997
"the prayers of a righteous man avails much."
00:20:22.997 --> 00:20:25.800
Believe that. receive that, amen.
00:20:25.800 --> 00:20:29.704
"the seed," your children,
00:20:29.704 --> 00:20:31.272
"the seed of the righteous will be delivered."
00:20:31.272 --> 00:20:34.475
Receive that, amen.
00:20:34.475 --> 00:20:36.677
"blessings are upon the head of the righteous."
00:20:36.677 --> 00:20:38.779
Receive that. it's yours, amen.
00:20:38.779 --> 00:20:41.349
You are now righteous in god's eyes.
00:20:41.349 --> 00:20:44.318
So here, it says very clearly: "god shows his love for us
00:20:44.318 --> 00:20:47.188
In that while we were still sinners, christ died for us."
00:20:47.188 --> 00:20:49.256
That's why we must always be living in that realm.
00:20:49.256 --> 00:20:51.492
Our inheritance is actually the realm where we are conscious
00:20:51.492 --> 00:20:55.262
Of god's love for us, amen?
00:20:55.262 --> 00:20:58.466
Look at this verse in jude.
00:20:58.466 --> 00:20:59.800
It says: "keep yourselves in the love of god,
00:20:59.800 --> 00:21:01.936
Looking for the mercy of our lord jesus christ
00:21:01.936 --> 00:21:04.038
Unto eternal life."
00:21:04.038 --> 00:21:05.406
We're looking for jesus.
00:21:05.406 --> 00:21:06.741
He's going to come back for us anytime.
00:21:06.741 --> 00:21:08.442
The bible promises that, amen?
00:21:08.442 --> 00:21:10.277
There are numerous prophecies about that, amen.
00:21:10.277 --> 00:21:13.047
And paul elucidates that very clearly,
00:21:13.047 --> 00:21:15.349
Line upon line, in detail.
00:21:15.349 --> 00:21:17.952
So we are looking forward for jesus's coming.
00:21:17.952 --> 00:21:19.820
When he comes, our bodies will transform like his body.
00:21:19.820 --> 00:21:23.557
Like our--the bible use the word
00:21:23.557 --> 00:21:25.259
"our vile bodies will be like his glorified body," amen?
00:21:25.259 --> 00:21:29.096
We'll be forever young, forever healthy,
00:21:29.096 --> 00:21:30.831
Forever strong.
00:21:30.831 --> 00:21:32.166
We'll never, never, ever die ever again, amen.
00:21:32.166 --> 00:21:34.769
Not even have a pimple on your face, amen.
00:21:34.769 --> 00:21:37.138
That's going to happen when jesus comes for us, amen.
00:21:37.138 --> 00:21:40.307
The only part of us that's not redeemed right now
00:21:40.307 --> 00:21:42.376
Is our bodies.
00:21:42.376 --> 00:21:43.711
So we are waiting for our bodily redemption.
00:21:43.711 --> 00:21:46.247
When you see all the bad things happening in the world,
00:21:46.247 --> 00:21:47.715
Jesus prophesied these things will happen
00:21:47.715 --> 00:21:49.517
Before he comes again.
00:21:49.517 --> 00:21:50.851
So we're looking forward for jesus coming, amen?
00:21:50.851 --> 00:21:53.120
But until then, "keep yourselves in the love of god."
00:21:53.120 --> 00:21:57.992
"keep yourselves in the love of god."
00:21:57.992 --> 00:22:00.928
What does that mean?
00:22:00.928 --> 00:22:02.496
You know, it does not say, "keep yourself loving god."
00:22:02.496 --> 00:22:05.232
It is not you loving god. it is god loving you.
00:22:05.232 --> 00:22:08.102
Here it says that while we were still sinners,
00:22:08.102 --> 00:22:11.372
Christ died for us.
00:22:11.372 --> 00:22:12.873
God loved you.
00:22:12.873 --> 00:22:14.208
And after you are saved, keep yourself.
00:22:14.208 --> 00:22:17.044
And the word "keep" there is guard.
00:22:17.044 --> 00:22:18.579
It's the same word used by jesus in his high priestly prayer
00:22:18.579 --> 00:22:21.582
In john 17: "father, keep those who believe on me
00:22:21.582 --> 00:22:27.555
Through thy name, in your name."
00:22:27.555 --> 00:22:30.825
God, preserve.
00:22:30.825 --> 00:22:32.293
Preserve yourself in the love of god.
00:22:32.293 --> 00:22:34.829
Preserve yourself in the love of god.
00:22:34.895 --> 00:22:37.598
Keep yourself.
00:22:37.598 --> 00:22:38.933
I remember when i was in england,
00:22:38.933 --> 00:22:40.434
One of those first times and all that.
00:22:40.434 --> 00:22:41.769
And i remember, wow, the cold weather
00:22:41.769 --> 00:22:43.237
Was just chilling.
00:22:43.237 --> 00:22:44.805
I remember that i was walking behind a building and it was--
00:22:44.805 --> 00:22:48.476
Even the sun was shining.
00:22:48.476 --> 00:22:49.810
It was still winter, but the sun was shining.
00:22:49.810 --> 00:22:52.346
It was very cold because i was on
00:22:52.346 --> 00:22:53.681
The shadow side of the building.
00:22:53.681 --> 00:22:55.783
I was on the dark side of the building.
00:22:55.783 --> 00:22:57.785
When i came out into the open, wow!
00:22:57.785 --> 00:22:59.587
The sun--i was basking in the sunshine,
00:22:59.587 --> 00:23:02.857
And i felt the warmth.
00:23:02.857 --> 00:23:04.191
And then the lord spoke to me.
00:23:04.191 --> 00:23:05.526
"this is what it means: keep yourself in the love of god.
00:23:05.526 --> 00:23:07.461
Don't stay in the shadows.
00:23:07.461 --> 00:23:08.996
Always be conscious of god's love," amen?
00:23:08.996 --> 00:23:11.565
Be conscious of his love, hallelujah, amen.
00:23:11.565 --> 00:23:14.635
Live in that love.
00:23:14.635 --> 00:23:15.970
It's not your love for god; it's god's love for you, amen.
00:23:15.970 --> 00:23:19.907
Announcer: and now, a closing word
00:23:19.974 --> 00:23:21.809
From pastor joseph prince.
00:23:21.809 --> 00:23:23.310
Joseph prince: lift your hands
00:23:23.310 --> 00:23:24.645
All across everywhere that's watching this right now.
00:23:24.645 --> 00:23:28.215
This coming week, the lord bless you and the lord keep you.
00:23:28.215 --> 00:23:32.953
The lord bless you with the blessings of father abraham.
00:23:32.953 --> 00:23:35.956
The lord keep you, preserve you and your families
00:23:35.956 --> 00:23:39.693
From every infection, from every disease,
00:23:39.693 --> 00:23:41.962
From all the power of the evil one.
00:23:41.962 --> 00:23:44.832
The lord make his face shine on you, be favorable to you.
00:23:44.832 --> 00:23:49.003
May you experience his favor
00:23:49.003 --> 00:23:51.505
As mary did when the angel came to her
00:23:51.505 --> 00:23:53.974
And says, "you are highly favored."
00:23:53.974 --> 00:23:56.043
You are highly favored, my friend.
00:23:56.043 --> 00:23:58.145
May you enjoy this favor throughout this week,
00:23:58.145 --> 00:24:00.614
You and your loved ones.
00:24:00.614 --> 00:24:02.082
And the lord lift up his countenance on you
00:24:02.082 --> 00:24:05.252
And your families and grant to you and yours
00:24:05.252 --> 00:24:08.656
His shalom peace in the name of the lord jesus christ.
00:24:08.656 --> 00:24:13.861
And all the people said, "amen."
00:24:13.861 --> 00:24:16.897
I love you all and i look forward to see you all again.
00:24:16.897 --> 00:24:19.700
Merry christmas!
00:24:19.700 --> 00:24:21.068
Male announcer: we live in a world
00:24:22.570 --> 00:24:23.904
That moves faster than ever.
00:24:23.904 --> 00:24:25.839
Headlines change by the hour. values shift.
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:29.777
Truth feels negotiable.
00:24:29.777 --> 00:24:32.246
What was certain yesterday is no longer clear today.
00:24:32.246 --> 00:24:36.750
But through all the noise and the shaking,
00:24:36.750 --> 00:24:39.687
There is one who is still the same.
00:24:39.687 --> 00:24:43.257
In the chaos, he is still the calm.
00:24:43.257 --> 00:24:46.594
In the panic, he is still the promise.
00:24:46.594 --> 00:24:49.697
Because when all else falters, fades, and falls,
00:24:49.697 --> 00:24:54.068
He is still jesus, above it all.
00:24:54.068 --> 00:24:56.804
So no matter what's popular today or forgotten tomorrow,
00:24:56.804 --> 00:25:00.908
This ministry will still always be all about jesus,
00:25:00.908 --> 00:25:05.646
Still the center of our call,
00:25:05.646 --> 00:25:07.815
Still the heartbeat of our people.
00:25:07.815 --> 00:25:10.284

00:25:18.792 --> 00:25:20.694
Female: 2022, i was diagnosed with cancer.
00:25:20.761 --> 00:25:25.666
I had a lump in my breast.
00:25:25.666 --> 00:25:28.335
They had diagnosed it as a stage 4.
00:25:28.335 --> 00:25:30.304
The cancer had spread to my liver, my bone,
00:25:30.304 --> 00:25:33.574
And the breast, of course.
00:25:33.574 --> 00:25:35.476
My husband and i were watching joseph prince one night.
00:25:35.476 --> 00:25:38.145
He called out "somebody had a liver disease,"
00:25:38.145 --> 00:25:41.615
And my husband goes, "look, that's you, stand up."
00:25:41.615 --> 00:25:45.853
And i stood up, we stood up in my living room,
00:25:45.853 --> 00:25:48.689
And he prayed over me about the liver.
00:25:48.689 --> 00:25:52.059
And in november of 2022, i got the report back
00:25:52.059 --> 00:25:57.297
That my liver was healing very, very well.
00:25:57.297 --> 00:26:01.635
In fact, by march it was totally gone.
00:26:01.635 --> 00:26:04.571
And so i have no cancer in me today,
00:26:04.571 --> 00:26:07.374
And they've released me from all medications
00:26:07.374 --> 00:26:09.343
That i've been taking for two years.
00:26:09.343 --> 00:26:11.779
So i am free from it.
00:26:11.779 --> 00:26:15.582
Thank you, jesus. thank you, jesus.
00:26:15.582 --> 00:26:18.886
Had i have not known about the grace of god
00:26:18.886 --> 00:26:22.089
And this ministry, i don't know where i'd be.
00:26:22.089 --> 00:26:26.293
And i remember joseph prince said that those--
00:26:26.293 --> 00:26:30.030
That that scripture in thessalonians that said,
00:26:30.030 --> 00:26:32.700
"those that there will be alive and remain
00:26:32.700 --> 00:26:35.235
Until the coming of the lord," that was mine.
